Default Terminate unused ports on Stridsberg MCA204M multicoupler

Do I need to terminate any unused ports on the Stridsberg MCA204M multicoupler? If so, then how do I go about this?

Default BNC Terminators

You can use these, see link:

BNC Terminators

But I'm not honestly sure if it would make that much difference if you didn't terminate the unused ports.

Regards,

I leave one unused port open and do not see any signal degradation. However I plan to fill the empty port soon, so I guess that up to you and your situation.

I have several of them, have terminated them or not & can't tell any difference; they must be well isolated between ports.

Normally yes. Something like this or equivalent:
